Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the event which has become known in the British imagination as the 'Indian Mutiny' of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty shows how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and by the demands of imperial self-image. He goes on to discuss the wider context of British involvement in India from 1765 to the 1940s, and engages with constitutional debates, administrative measures, and the early nineteenth-century Anglo-Indian novel. Chakravarty approaches the mutiny from the perspectives of postcolonial theory as well as from historical and literary perspectives to show the extent to which the insurrection took hold of the popular imagination in both Britain and India. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to scholars of English literature, British imperial history, modern Indian history and cultural studies.

This book is the result of comprehensive research work on the various aspects of the West Bengal coast including the world’s largest riverine delta system, the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta. The role of various hydrodynamic factors in shaping the coastal configuration and physicochemical parameters of coastal waters, soils, and granulometry of beach sands are extensively discussed. The coasts of the Indian peninsula, particularly the east coast, are subjected to severe cyclones, tidal bores, storm surges, and strong drift, which changes the coastal configuration as well as the quality of waters and the fertility of soils. A systematic description of major cyclones and their effects on coastal areas are described in detail. The book offers comprehensive information on the prevailing ecological conditions and lush green mangrove forests with wide-ranging flora and fauna of Sundarbans. UNESCO has declared Sundarbans as one of the world’s heritage sites, and as in other parts of the world, some of the coastal areas in West Bengal have attracted the attention of many tourists. Various steps undertaken by the government for coastal zone management and sustainable development of the coastal areas have been highlighted in the book. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of the coastal environment.
Postcolonial Lack reconvenes dialogue between Lacanian psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory in order to expand the range of cultural analyses of the former and make the latter theoretically relevant to the demands of contemporary narratives of othering, exclusion, and cultural appropriation. Seeking to resolve the mutual suspicion between the disciplines, Gautam Basu Thakur draws out the connections existing between Lacan's teachings on subjectivity and otherness and writings of postcolonial and decolonial theorists such as Gayatri Spivak, Frantz Fanon, and Homi Bhabha. By developing new readings of the marginalized other as radical impasse and pushing the envelope on neoliberal identity politics, the book moves postcolonial studies away from the perennial topic of identity and difference and into examining the form and function of the other as excess—surplus and/or lack—in colonial and postcolonial literature, film, and social discourse. Looking at writings by Mahasweta Devi, Amitav Ghosh, Leila Aboulela, Narayan Gangopadhyay, Katherine Boo, and films by Gillo Pontecorvo , Clint Eastwood, Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), and Tony Gatlif, Basu Thakur highlights a new set of ethical and political considerations emerging as a direct result of this shift and stakes a fundamental rethinking of postcoloniality through what he calls the "politics of ontological discordance.

No matter who you are, where you live, or what your life circumstances are, if you’ve gone through the teenage, you must remember the first time you’ve fallen in love. The time when you’ve created your own universe in your mind. The time when you used to fly high and high in your dreams. The time when you used to get butterflies in your stomach. The time when only a smile can melt your heart and a whiff can cure all your pains. But then we grew up and something is left behind, some words, some feelings, some emotions. Something that is left unspoken, the words that left unexpressed. People do move on in life but something remains there for always. Some of them just feel those vibes and some of them make those moments immortal by penning down their heart in form of poetries, writings and shayaris, in their diaries. The book is all about those feelings that are left unexpressed, some words that are left unspoken. Let’s take this moment to celebrate the journey of our lives, and dive into some stories penned down by some awesome co-authors.
This book studies the recent legacy of basti "evictions" in Delhi--mass clearings of some of the city's poorest neighborhoods--as a way to understand how the urban poor are disenfranchised in the name of "public interest" and, in the case of Delhi, by the very courts meant to empower and protect them. Studying bastes, says Gautam Bhan, provokes six clear lines of inquiry applicable to studies of urbanism across the global south. The first is the long-standing debate over urban informality and illegality: the debate's impact on conceptions and practices of urban planning, the production of space, and the regulation of value. The second is a set of debates on "good governance," read through their intersections with ideas of "planned development" within rapidly transforming cities. The third is the political field of urban citizenship and the possibilities of substantive rights and belonging in the city. The fourth is resistance and the ability of a city's subaltern residents to struggle against exclusion. The two remaining inquiries both cut across and unify the first four. One of these is the role of the judiciary and the relationships between law and urbanism in cities of the global south. The other is the relationship between democracy and inequality in the city. What emerges about Delhi in particular are a set of new modes for the reproduction of inequality. When rights are lost, citizenship is unequal and differentiated, the promise of development is refused, and poverty and inequality are reproduced and deepened. The task at hand, says Bhan, is not just to explain evictions but also to listen to what they are telling us about "the city that is as well as the city that can be.
Some Mps Are More Equal Than Others. A Truism That Is Applicable To All Walks Of Life, But More So In Relation To Our Man In Parliament. But Even The High Profile Mp Enjoys Hardly Any Power As A Legislator. As A Member Of Various Parliamentary Committees He May, Or May Not, Influence Policy, But There Is Little Doubt That These Do Not Enjoy The Clout They Did During The Nehru Era. By Contributing To Debates In The House, The Mp Of The Fifties Could Be Said To Have Had Impact On Policy, But This Is Hardly The Case Today. The Speeches That Cover A Wide Range Of Issues (And Given Considerable Space In This Volume) Are Often No More Than Routing Affairs In Support Of The Party Position, Adding Nothing Or Little Of Substance To The Subject Under Discussion. As For The Question Raised By The Np, He Is Fobbed Of, More Often Than Not, By Replies That Conceal More Than They Reveal, Replies Drafted Hurriedly By The Bureaucrat To Ensure That His Boss Does Not Get Embroiled In Any Controversy. Hence The Only Job Left To Him Is To Tackle The Demands Of His Voters. In Doing So He Is Often Stepping On The Toes Of The Mla Or The Municipal Councillor. As Things Are, He Is Not As Well Placed To Deliver The Goods As Them. He Has, In Effect, No Role To Play. It Is In This Context That The Author Has Posed The Question In The Title Of The Book, Asking Whether The New Mp, The Mp Of The Nineties, Is Of Any Consequence. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: The Role/ Functions Of Mps; Chapter 3: Impact On Policy; Chapter 4: Change In The Nature Of Elected Representative; Chapter 5: The Reluctant Mp; Chapter 6: Quality Of Debate; Chapter 7: Importance Of The Mp; Chapter 8: Socio-Economic Background; Chapter 9: Conclusion.
